Capítulo 1086: Chapter 1074: Who Knew Qiao Jing Had This Skill
As the surveillance footage began playing on the screen, everyone’s eyes shifted in unison.
Jin Yufei and Zheng Shuangshuang exchanged a glance, their faces showing smug satisfaction.
According to their plan, once this footage aired, the accusation against Qiao Jing for stealing the painting would be solidified!
They were already impatient to see Qiao Jing getting condemned by everyone!
The footage started, showing the corridor’s view on the screen.
Then, Qiao Jing appeared in the footage, running into the corridor, looking hurried and anxious.
Moreover, during this ti, she kept glancing around.
Based solely on this footage, her behavior did seem a bit odd, easily arousing suspicion.
Seeing this, the crowd turned their gaze towards Qiao Jing.
Most people’s eyes were filled with doubt, and this suspicion was more evident than before.
Qiao Jing ignored the others’ gazes and kept her eyes fixed on the screen.
She felt that the footage before she entered the corridor seed to have fras skipped, as if it was edited.
At this mont, the footage continued playing.
In the footage, Qiao Jing pushed open that ajar door and walked into the room.
This scene undoubtedly added to Qiao Jing’s suspicion.
Those doubting Qiao Jing beca more convinced of their assumptions.
Just when everyone thought the truth was about to erge, the screen suddenly blacked out.
From the mont Qiao Jing entered the room until she left, that part was all blacked out, with no footage.
This situation sparked another round of discussions among the crowd.
“What’s going on? Why is it blacked out at the most critical point?”
“Is there a problem with the surveillance? Or what’s the deal?”
“All other tis are fine, only this part can’t be viewed. It can’t be just a coincidence, right?”
“Could this blackout be due to human interference?”
“…”
At this ti, Zheng Shuangshuang seized the opportunity to stir up the situation.
She pointed at Qiao Jing and said convincingly to others, “She must have done this! The footage only shows her, so she must have blacked it out to cover up her stealing the painting!”
Jin Yufei also looked at Qiao Jing and feignedly said, “I think I heard that you’re quite skilled with computers, even have so hacker skills. Could it really be you who did this?”
“If you really stole Master Han’s painting, I advise you to return it quickly. Given Master Han’s appreciation of you, he probably wouldn’t hold it against you.”
As soon as Jin Yufei finished, Zheng Shuangshuang couldn’t wait to take a righteous stance and vehently criticized Qiao Jing.
“Master Han admires you so much and wants to take you as an apprentice, and yet you do such shaful things. If you have any conscience left, return the painting imdiately, or it won’t end well once things escalate!”
The words of Jin Yufei and Zheng Shuangshuang were extrely provocative.
Under their provocation, those who already doubted Qiao Jing imdiately labeled her as the thief, all criticizing her.
“How could you be such a person? Master Han appreciates you so much, yet you dare steal his painting, truly heartless!”
“Daring to steal Master Han’s painting, you’re really overestimating yourself!”
“Stealing sothing here, did you really think you could get away with it?”
“Return the painting quickly, otherwise, this matter won’t wrap up easily!”
“…”
Seeing the situation becoming one-sided, Chen Yiming, who had previously flattered Qiao Jing with a smiling face, had his attitude change dramatically.
He looked at Qiao Jing with disdain and began to criticize her, “I knew you were soone who relied on deceit. I don’t know what you did to gain Master Han’s favor, but with your character, you’ll surely et a bad end!”
Han Zhiyu couldn’t listen any longer and stood up again, projecting loudly, “I still believe in Qiao Girl; I trust she wouldn’t do such a thing. I hope everyone calms down and doesn’t be too extre in their words.”
“Moreover, there isn’t any conclusive evidence proving she did it, so don’t rush to conclusions.”
After Han Zhiyu’s words, people indeed reined in a bit, but so still pointed and whispered about Qiao Jing.
Zhan Nanjing also couldn’t bear it anymore and turned to her brother, frowning, “Brother, shouldn’t we help Xiao Jing? I believe she couldn’t have done it.”
Zhan Qiaomo tugged his dad’s sleeve and earnestly said with an upturned face, “Yes, yes, Dad, it definitely wasn’t Aunt Jing who did this!”
Zhan Qiaoze snorted unhappily, “They’re spouting nonsense; Aunt Jing would never steal!”
Zhan Qiaoyu was also fuming, “Anyway, I unconditionally trust Aunt Jing!”
Zhan Qipei’s gaze fell on the girl who was being accused by everyone.
Although her situation was dire, she remained calm and composed.
After a while, Zhan Qipei’s thin lips parted, and he slowly uttered two words, “No need.”
“No need?”
Zhan Nanjing was stunned, taking a few seconds to realize her brother ant no need to help.
She pouted, “Brother, you’re being too cruel, right? She has so ties with our family after all.”
“Just watch, she’ll handle it.”
Zhan Qipei’s voice was calm and firm.
And sohow, seeing her so composed, he felt certain that she could effortlessly handle the situation.
She had a mysterious, convincing power about her, just like…
Just like Qiao Jing!
At this thought, Zhan Qipei slightly knitted his long eyebrows, hurriedly pulling his thoughts back, reminding himself not to connect the two.
Zhan Nanjing scratched her head, sowhat understanding.
Beside, Qiao Jing turned her eyes toward Jin Yufei, her lips curling into a mocking smile, sneering, “Since you know I have hacker skills, yet you use such tactics against ?”
With the situation developing to this point, she had a general guess at heart.
Looking now, the man with the mask and cap earlier was clearly trying to lure her over intentionally.
And the mastermind behind that man was obviously Jin Yufei and Zheng Shuangshuang!
This explains why Jin Yufei and Zheng Shuangshuang’s behavior was so odd when ntioning Master Han’s painting earlier!
Moreover, when the two looked at her then, their expressions carried a hint of schadenfreude!
Qiao Jing’s words made the expression on Jin Yufei’s face slightly stiff.
But quickly, she recovered and refuted, “What do you an by against you? Don’t spout nonsense here! You’re the one who stole Master Han’s painting, don’t try to pin it on !”
